In our recent survey of global technology leaders, UK respondents seemed more concerned (34%) than their US (27%), French (24%), German (20%), and Asian (21%) counterparts, around regulatory risks impacting GenAI adoption. This is not necessarily a sign of scepticism, rather an indication of the UK’s 'fast follower' approach that we have seen with previous disruptive innovations. The heightened awareness of the regulatory landscape shows the UK’s commitment to cautious and compliant technological progression, ensuring GenAI is implemented responsibly and ethically. https://lnkd.in/ecMYXKyn
